FAIR ANAHEIM VIEWS.

A HERALD representative who usu'
ally works all days in the week, H.
Guiding Sunday, and all weeks in the
year. including midsummer and the
Christmas holidays, was in great
luck last Saturday night. AT least SC
he considered himself when told he
might have "day OUT on Sunday.
Thinking where he should go to
souander his one holiday. Anaheim
came to his head as a pleasant place
to spend day. Getting his Saturday
nights work well up, ard enli'ting
he interest OF u collabora'eur 10 do
the rest, away lie he'd on the late
train of Saturday. He found a solid
train Of four coaches full of people all
agog for the south end of the county.
AT ANAHEM.
Transferring himself from the train
to the street car, the ne wspape' pleas
ure seeker found about twenty-five
other tourists, commercial and other
wi. e, all bound with him Tor the
Pl 4nte,'s hotel to interview mine
hos, Mason and his cook, especially
the cock. Next morning, refreshed
an r, ady for the tray, the pencil-
puSher awok-., betimes he did, and
h wing performed his additions, ex-
ternal and internal-the latter If n It in
a cask of malmse' yet outside oi
som t ing rleasant-he stepped at
last into the open air.
GLORIOUS MORNING.
The warm glow OF go den sunshine
filed the sky and air, and bathed The
land as genial as the loveliest day in
June. The birds were all making the
spac-. sonor us with glad so gs. The
breezes of the zephyr's gentlest touch
set the leaves OF the orange groves
just atrem lie, and tile golden spheres
like the tabled app es Of tue He@per-
ides, glislen-d like gold amid the
rich waxy sheen of the foliage. n
RICH ANAHEIM.
Far southwark spread the broad,
rich plain embracing vineyards, or
ange groves, rich pas ures, orchards
the most fertile and varied in its
resources in the world. Some tiiteen
miles away the Pacific lay pulsAtlug
and cleaning in the golden sunlight,
from his broad breast come these
gentle " inds lpadet to repletion wi h
life-siving ozone, pure, invigorating,
health restoring, youth-glvlng, as
would hav been the springs or eter-
nal youth, had Ponce de Leon
been abe TO find them.
THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
All around the north side Of the
valley the great mountains rose TO
grand heights, and ON their world-old
brows they lifted to the skies their
SHOWS of countless years. The run
lit up their ridges with such glorious
brightness rs the imagination pic
lures on The white heights OF Para
di ,e. The shadows slept in The VAL
leys as peacefully as Bunyon's pill
grim saw them on the "Delectable
mountains" in his progress to Heaven.
Ind ed a more beautiful prospect
never stretched before the eyes
of man han the landscape which
Law all around the ricn old mother
colony on the day in question. No
spot even in this semi tropic Paradise
Can boast of ANY more fascinating pic
ture than Was there presented. The
rains ha started the gra -ses. The
orange gr ives were washed Gle IN OF
dust, the roads were hard and clean,
the temp .ratuie was Of that abso-
lutely perfect degree WEIGH makes
lie seem worth living for. Lowell
asks:
"And what 50 perfect as d day in
June"
The answer is last Sunday at Ana
helm was as perfect as any day trat
ever rose out of the night in the "leafy
mouth OF June"
